Safe With Me chords

[Intro]
E
No man, I've driven down that Washington coast, and it's beautiful, reminds me of the girl that I love.
 
{Chuckles} I'm serious
 
 
[Verse 1]
E
I never wanted any part of love
E                               A
I'd leave it to the God above my head
E
But a pretty girl had a different plan
E                              A
She wanted me to be her man instead
E
Call me a liar and paint it black
E                                          A
I don't think that I'm coming back from this, her kiss
E                                                                         A
Lock it down, throw away the key, and pray that she don't run away from me I guess, I guess
 
 
[Chorus]

E
You were taller than the trees
E                                             A
That we would lay under and see, when we were young
E                                                                 A
And those songs that you would sing, as I laughed quietly, while you sung
 
 
[Chorus]
                 C#m   B
'Cause we ain't going down
       A                E
I'll lift you off the ground
                      C#m    B             A E
And you'll hear those bells sound, one day
              C#m     B
And it won't end in shame
                    A        E
I don't think this love's a game
       C#m          B           A
And darlin' all I want you to see
                        E     A
Your heart is safe with me
       E
Your heart is safe with me
           C#m          B
'Cause we ain't going down
       A                E
I'll lift you off the ground
            C#m              B             A E
And you'll hear those bells sound, one day
              A        E
